United Process Controls (Process-Electronic) upgrades Bodycote nitriding operations

Bodycote Thermal Processing (Huntington Park, CA) has acquired three gas nitriding installations based on the UPC Protherm 500 programmable controller and the H2Smart hydrogen analyzer from United Process Controls. These include two pit-type NP-1020 turnkey systems complete with furnaces and one upgrade for an existing furnace. All three systems will be primarily used for nitriding stainless steels. In addition, an IN-500 exhaust gas neutralizer will assure the furnaces’ environmental friendliness.
Installation and start-up are scheduled for the last quarter of 2008.

NITRIDING & CARBURIZING POTENTIAL CONTROL

The latest addition to the versatile Protherm controller series is the 400 model with multiple control loops for controlling process parameters such as the carbon/nitrogen potential, temperature, pressure, and many others; additionally, the system graphically displays the real-time carbon/nitrogen diffusion control, hardness curves, and iron-oxidation state. The Protherm 400 is available for new furnaces or system upgrades.
